RONNY Deila's Celtic will look to salvage some Euro pride after being handed a favourable Europa League draw this afternoon just days after they crashed out of the Champions League.

CELTIC have avoided a European grudge match with Legia Warsaw - for the time being - after today’s Europa League group stages draw.

The Scottish champions were pulled out of the hat alongside Austrians Red Bull Salzburg, Croatia’s Dinamo Zagreb and Astra Giurgiu of Romania in Group D at the draw which was held in Monaco.

The Hoops have never played Red Bull or Astra Giurgiu but faced Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League second qualifying round in 1998, losing 3-1 on aggregate after scoring the only goal at Parkhead but losing 3-0 on the road.

Legia thumped the Bhoys 6-1 on aggregate but were penalised by UEFA for fielding an ineligible player in the second leg in Scotland, a decision which saw Celtic progress to the play-off round before being dumped out by Maribor on Tuesday.
